At some point, someone was trying to decide whether or not to buy a M-edge cover and wanted to see pictures. So I snapped a bunch on my phone and emailed them to him. Since I had the pictures, why not post them here? If anyone is trying to decide on a M-edge cover, here it is. This is when the cover was brand new and didn't have any scratches.

Great photos, Leslie, very helpful.

I *was* thinking about the M Edge, but am now anxiously awaiting the debut of the Oberon covers.  Hoping to see some of my favorite designs.

My daughter is going to buy me one for Christmas and I need to tell her which one I want.  I just can't decide between the m-edge or the oberon, or maybe there is an even better one out there.  I keep researching and find I like one feature on one and then another feature on another one. Maybe I need 2.

Your pictures are great.  Good job.

How well does your Kindle fit in the  M-edge cover?  Do you like the feel and the fit better than the original cover?  It looks great. 

For those of you that don't like Red, they do have several other colors.  I'll see if I can get the original cover to work for me.  If it doesn't, I'll keep an eye on third party replacements.   I may like using my Kindle nekkid(it not me...well maybe me to but I live alone Smiley )  I'll just have to wait and see.

Vampyre...I have no problem with the original cover.   Works perfectly fine in my opinion but now I need Olga to look good!   It may be a girl thing!

I keep hearing people talking about how their Kindles have a tendancy to fall out of the original covers unless corrected with some velcro.  I'd hate to have mine pop out somewhere.  Even if I use mine with out a cover, I'll still use it for storage while on the go.  The screen looks pretty exposed to me.  It must be protected.

That looks similar to the one I bought today. The one I bought is on sale for $29.99. I don't think it's leather, but I like the idea of wiping it down with a wet cloth, etc. This is the one I bought today:

It fits perfectly. I really like the M-edge cover. I have a saddle one, too, which is what I have been using for the past few months. I rarely take Sir William out of his koat.

The only time mine has fallen out of the OEM cover was when reading in bed and holding it above my head. There is nothing to secure the right side of the Kindle. Mostly happy with it. But, those Oberon covers look good.

The first week I used my Kindle with no cover and liked it fine... I am now using the original cover and have no problem with it. I have used it on the sofa, in the truck, in the hammock and in the bed and it hasn't slipped or fallen out on my head.

I can recite most of 'Horton Hears a Who'. It's been one of my all-time favorites since I was a teenager.

Did I ever tell you of Mrs McCave
who had twenty three sons and she
named them all Dave.
And often she wishes that when they were born
she had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn
and one of them Hoos Foss and one of them Slim
and one of them Hotshot and one Sunny Jim.. . . . . .

(it goes on for 23 names. . . . .)

This was one of the stories in the Sneeches.  Didn't have to read it to my son when he was little, I could just recite it. . . .  it's been a while now, though, and I probably couldn't get all the way through it. . . .
